XIII. THIRTEEN
── ✧《✩》✧ ──
The more I'm here, the more comfortable I've become. I've been making friends not only within the host club but outside the club. I started writing more and entered my poetic literature into contests.
I have started to get much more tired than before, maybe it's because I'm doing a lot more with my time then being cooped up in the host club.
It's the weekend. Which means it's one of the few days me and my sister are able to just relax and take time— IS THAT A FUCKING LIMO SPEEDING AT US???
I jump away from the curb and drop the little book I was carrying. I jumped straight into Haruhi. She quickly shoved me behind her as we watched as a Limo whipped in front of us. The door flung open and my sister was snatched up.
We screached as the doors slammed shut. The window was rolled all the way down so I did the only logical thing to do if your twin sister was kidnapped.
I jumped through the window.
I landed with a thud to meet up with all the host club. Hikaru peered down at me as Koaru extended an arm. "Geez Y/N, we would've opened the door for you to get in as well..."
I've been shammed...
I sat on a chair, angrily fuming. Ootori family theme park, water park included. It was big, huge in fact. It was so warm here compared to the chilly October weather.
Gathering in a matching outfit to Haruhi, except I had a green hoodie matching with yellow shorts. Originally the twins tried to get me and Haru to match swimsuits but opted for cover ups when I flipped out.
"Behold, twins." Tamaki points to us and shows us the scenery. "There are some tropical birds. They are such beauties. I wonder what they're called."
Haruhi, who sat on the same bench as me, asked. "Where's the exit again?"
"Spending casual time like this is very important for people like us who work on our looks day and night." He continued.
"This whole thing is meaningless and preposterously inconsequential, so may I go home? I want to study, and I have to do my laundry today. Above all else... where is this place?" My sister nagged him.
"I wanna go home as well..." I sighed.
"I thought you were fascinated by the pool?" Kyouya asked.
"...I mean, I like it." I twirled my hair, it was getting into that awkward length stage. "I'm just not in the mood today."
"Mmm...This is a theme park operated by my family's Ootori Group, the Tropical Aqua Garden." Kyouya grinned.
Haruhi held up a finger. "But I thought your family was in the hospital and medical business, wasn't it, Kyouya-senpai?"
"Well, we like to diversify and take part in various businesses, but this place is part of the medical business."
"Ahh..." She peaked back at me.
He continued, "Some people get bombarded with stress and the feeling of breathlessness, and even if they wanted to relax in the tropics, many cannot due to time or economic constraints. Therefore, this theme park is a recuperation type of place for those kinds of people. We, the Ootori Group, always think about the happiness of people."
"What a yapper" I muttered.
"That sounds preposterously suspicious." Kyouya gleamed. "It's opening will be next month, but today, the whole place has been booked for the Host Club as a special premier invitation."
I decided to take a seat next to Mori. I loved the pool but he looked so peaceful sitting down.
Tamaki spun around, "What a peaceful feeling. This time, we don't even have customers whom we must serve. It's just like a repose for the handsome teenage soldiers, I guess."
Honey was edging Haruhi to get into the water. My sister, not so fond of water, did it for him.
The twins were running around the water slide and frequently running in and out. Tamaki and Kyouya slowly approached us and I decided to opt out the conversation.
I slowly crouched down to the pool. Only dipping my feet in.
It was peaceful.
Honey and Haruhi we're hanging around the edge of the pool, kicking their feet and holding a conversation with me. Suddenly the water started to rise ever so slightly. I raised my eyebrows as now my ass was getting a little drenched.
I stood up from the pair when a huge wave of water rose up and quickly took them away. The floor shook and all I could do was watch helplessly as my sister and honey were swept away.
I, myself, would've fallen in and got swept away if it wasn't for Mori pulling my arm back and attempting to dive for the other two. He was almost successful, but slipped on the hard ground.
"Mitsukuni" he cried, watching as all that remained was his tube.
My voice was stuck in my throat as I croaked out for my sister. "Haru....Haruhi..?"
The club panicked, seeing the two sweped away.
"Everybody, after them!" Tamaki quickly pulled me up and we rushed alongside the pool.
I clawed onto his arm as we rushed, "T-Tamaki..."
"Shhh, calm down."
"No, Tamaki.."
"It'll be okay. We'll find them, Y/N."
"She can't swim."
He stopped responded but I noticed he picked up speed.

In his haste, we hit many dead ends. Our path was also filled with twigs, mud, alligators and snakes.
It didn't help that is was also raining....
We ended up taking shelter in this pavilion. It was the only place to shelter from the rain. We all slumped to catch our breath.
I could feel myself getting sicker as my clothing stuck to my body.
I couldn't care less tho.
I can't imagine Haruhi being out here by herself. Yeah Honey is there to protect her, but I know deep down my sister is terrified of thunder.
Tamaki hung his head from his seat, "Impossible..."
Mori also wasn't being himself, he was super clumsy. He crouched down on the floor watching the rain.
'Mori seems to be very close to Honey...'
"Do you not use any honorifics?" Hikaru asked.
"You heard that?"
"Of course" Kaoru rolled his eyes.
"Fine then, Mori-senpai seems to be very close to Honey-senpai." I corrected myself.
"You really don't know anything, they're cousins"
"You're lying. No way."
Kyouya butted in, "The Morinozuka family has served the Haninozuka family for generations."
"They've become relatives ever since a marriage two generations ago, so the servant-master relationship between the two families should have dissolved already." Hikaru wiggled his eyebrows.
"Still, Mori-senpai always follows and serves Honey-senpai." Kaoru said.
"His blood must be getting agitated... The ancient blood of a loyal servant to his lord inside of Mori-senpai..." Tamaki wiped a fake tear as the twins cheated.
"What a beautiful story, so touching!" The twins sobbed.
Everyone is submerged into their conversations.
I sighed and couldn't help myself from looking at Mori. They call it a beautiful story... I don't really understand this 'blood agitating' business... but he really cares for Honey-senpai, doesn't he?
I slowly walk to the slumped man, I patted his shoulder. "Honey-Senpai will be okay...I'm sure Haru would take care of him."
He chuckled, "I think it's the other way around."
"So even you know that Honey-senpai is safe? He's stronger than he looks, and if he gets hungry, my sister will take care of him."
Mori stands as he patted my head.
We wait for the rain to clear as Kyouya informs someone strange on the phone the pickle were in. It was probably like 40 minutes of staring out into the forest before it finally cleared up.
We look at the map again, deciding to continue on the same path, however Mori twitched a little.
I coughed, "What the fuck was that—"
Mori begins making his way through the forest on his own. In the opposite direction. I stray away from the group and slightly tug on his arm.
"Mori-senpai, it's not that way. Honey-senpai is in the opposite direction!"
I slip and slide on all the muddy tiles.
Curse these crocs.
"No, he's in this direction."
"Listen up tough guy, you think you're hot shit but when a snake comes and bites your dick off, who's gonna come save you?"
He stopped in his tracks and just stares at me.
"..."
"Whatever, I'll be your knight in shining armor." I pretended to throw up my secret wepons (my guns). "Pow pow pow—SHIT"
I slipped on a rock and he immediately pulled me up.
"Y/n." He said.
My feet dangled before he moved me into his arms. It was only then when I actually felt warmth. I didn't know how much I was shivering. I could feel my own skin freezing. I wrapped my arms around his neck.
That's the first time he called me by my name...
